Which would you pick: mountain or oceanside escape? Both have equal access to all of the comforts you require.
I have lived both, the mountain is always the choice for a true escape.
I would love to hear about your experiences with both!! What made the mountain a true escape? What size mountain are we talking? What were you ocean experiences like?
Mountain
Ooh this is hard. Iโd say mountain. Probably because a mountain escape feels like a more rare experience compared to ocean.
Fairhaven looks nice, as does the Queensland coast.
I've stayed in the Swiss Alps for a week and it was nice, you do have to be fit and the air is good.
Mountain.
I love the ocean too .
Mountain for me. Views, trees, birds, and I love the smell.
